              <text>Edgar Reyes is a Baltimore and Washington D.C based multimedia artist. He received his MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art and continued his practice locally while teaching at non-profit organizations and schools. He has centered his practice around his journey through exploring his Mexican American immigrant identity by way of compassion and understanding. His personal experiences serve as means of breaking down cycles of inherited trauma during the search for truth and healing. His recent works utilize images of Reyes’ own family members as he develops a personal yet universal narrative of lives shaped by displacement, migration, and discovery. &#13;
&#13;
Cariño is a digital collage printed on chiffon, most notably featuring a Polaroid photo of a young Reyes and his mother. The handwritten caption below dedicates the photo to his grandmother. The technicolor clouds and modular elements that surround the image address the relationship between memory and place while paying homage to family history. &#13;
